The Good. The Bad. The Basic. episodes

  • 21: Lincoln Heights
    Lasting 2 years and 4 seasons on ABC Family, Lincoln Heights is one of few Black family dramas in a sea of sitcoms. This show about the family of a cop and their adjustment after moving to the community where he grew up is poignant, real, and worth remembering! Check out what Alex and I had to say about Lincoln Heights!

  • 20: Big Love, Part II
    Big Love gave us a cast of layered, complex characters, all living firmly in shades of grey, and (in large part) allowed us to make up our minds about who were the heroes, and who were the villains. The show's strongly polarizing premise could have meant certain failure, but whose writing, acting, and plot pacing were so strong that they continue to resonate with audiences! Check out what Alex and I thought of seasons 3-5!

  • 19: Big Love, Part I
    Big Love was a show with an unlikely premise which became an even more unlikely network hit and one of HBO's juggernauts. This show about a mainstream family practicing polygamy while trying to keep a peaceful home life doesn't sound like it would be as relatable as it ended up being, but the tales of the Henrickson family resonated so deeply with people from all walks of life. Check out our thoughts on season 1 and 2 of this powerhouse drama!

  • 17: Parenthood, Part II
    Parenthood was a series about the many small steps in the journeys of a big family, and one episode simply wasn't enough to cover all of the things that made this series so beautiful and memorable. Check out what we thought made seasons 4-6 of this powerhouse so brilliant!

  • 16: Parenthood, Part I
    Parenthood is a series that absolutely puts the "family" back in "family drama". NBC's unexpected hit was a family drama that beautifully balanced a large ensemble cast and made us fall in love with one of the most relatable fictional families to ever grace our televisions. Check out what we had to say on seasons 1-3 of Parenthood!

  • 15: Gilmore Girls, Part III: A Year In the Life
    Gilmore Girls was a breakout hit for The WB/The CW, but a revival 9 years after the season finale would have been an ambitious undertaking even under the best of circumstances. So how does Netflix's Gilmore Girls revival hold up? Is it Gilmore worthy? Have the lives of Lorelai and Rory gone in the directions that we would have expected? Stay tuned!

  • 14: Gilmore Girls, Part II
    Gilmore Girls' back half wasn't terribly popular with fans of the series, but for Alex and I, this is where the magic happens, the show gets real, and the characters truly shine! Check out what we thought of seasons 5-7 of this pop culture icon!
